This micro switch detects door or lid position and tells the appliance when the door is closed so cycles can start or safety interlocks stay engaged. It restores reliable door sensing and helps prevent operation with the door open. What it does:

• Acts as a position sensor that completes or breaks the control circuit when the door/lid is closed or opened
• Keeps the appliance from starting or continuing a cycle if the door is open (safety interlock)
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't start, stops mid-cycle, or shows door-related error codes
• Small electrical switch designed to mount at the door latch or frame and connect to the appliance wiring harness

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting service
• Access may require removing panels, trim, or the door latch assembly; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Observe wiring orientation and connector positions; replace exactly as removed or tag wires

This grille clip is a small plastic retainer that secures a refrigerator grille or trim piece to the cabinet, keeping the front panels aligned and preventing rattles or gaps for a tidy appearance. What it does:

• Secures the lower/front grille or trim to the appliance cabinet to hold it in place
• Prevents grille movement, rattling, or sagging that can occur with worn clips
• Helps maintain a tight fit between trim and cabinet for a finished look
• Simple replacement part when existing clip is cracked, broken, or missing

• One grille clip

• Typically snaps into place; inspect mating slot and clip orientation before installing
• Replace any damaged adjacent clips for even support and fit
• Work carefully to avoid damaging the grille or surrounding trim

This replacement rear compressor base roller supports the refrigerator compressor on the cabinet rear base, helping keep the compressor properly seated and reducing wear from vibration and movement. What it does

• Provides a rolling support under the compressor to keep it aligned and off the cabinet floor
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling that can occur from a loose or worn compressor mount
• Prevents compressor body from dragging or scraping the cabinet base
• Commonly replaced when the roller is cracked, worn flat, missing, or causing noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Support or secure the compressor and cabinet before removing the old roller to avoid sudden movement
• Basic hand tools usually required; inspect mounting hardware and replace any damaged fasteners
• Do not attempt sealed-system repairs.

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

This control box houses and protects the appliance's electronic controls and wiring, restoring a secure mounting point for the console and control modules. Replacing a damaged control box helps resolve loose or exposed electronics and supports reliable button and display operation. What it does:

• Provides a secure enclosure for the control board and wiring harness
• Protects electronics from damage, debris, and shorting
• Restores proper mounting and alignment of the control console
• Can stop symptoms like loose or intermittently working buttons, exposed wiring, or a rattling console

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Replacement typically requires removing the control console or outer panel to access mounting screws and harness connections
• Handle electronics and connectors carefully; avoid forcing or bending housing tabs

Color: Black. Rubber. Holds tube/wire

This condenser tube spacer positions and secures the refrigerator's condenser tubing to maintain proper tube spacing and airflow. Replacing a worn or broken spacer helps reduce vibration, rattling, and rubbing that can damage tubing over time. What it does:

• Holds condenser tubing in the correct position to preserve airflow and cooling efficiency
• Cushions tubing to limit vibration and reduce rattling noises
• Prevents tubing from rubbing against the cabinet or other components, lowering wear risk
• Helps reduce the chance of tubing fatigue that can lead to damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing rear panels or condenser components.
• Handle condenser tubing gently; avoid kinking, bending, or putting stress on lines during installation.
• Installation may require removing the back or lower access panel to reach the condenser assembly.

A molded gasket that seals the evaporator coil cover to reduce air bypass and help direct cold air over the coils for more consistent cooling. Replaces a worn or damaged seal to help restore proper airflow and reduce frost buildup. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator coil cover to prevent warm air from bypassing the coil
• Helps maintain proper airflow for consistent cooling performance
• Reduces frost or ice buildup caused by air leaks around the coil cover
• Prevents condensation and dripping by keeping air where it belongs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Thaw any frost/ice accumulation and remove the evaporator access cover per manufacturer instructions
• Clean mating surfaces, then press the seal into place ensuring a full, even fit around the cover

This genuine replacement screw secures panels and small components on select appliances, restoring fit and reducing rattles or loose parts. It's a direct-fit fastener where the original #8-18 x 3/8 screw is missing or worn. What it does:

• Replace any damaged mating hardware for best fit
• Unplug the appliance or shut off power when accessing internal fasteners

This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator.This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.
